Our work together will be a collaborative process of discovery to understand the issues threatening to erode individual and family health and well-being. Through this journey, we will tailor a plan for you to provide relief, long-term personal growth and heightened emotional knowledge. Insulation against pain and frustration helps lead to greater satisfaction in all aspects of life; work, love, family and play, enriching relationships and a rediscovering natural energy, gifts and talents. Through my additional experience in career counseling, community affairs and public education, I provide my clients with understanding in areas that may create particular issues.

Couple and family therapy, and parent counseling offers insight and perspectives for special needs and stressful situations.
